Eye Tricks by Akiyoshi
This one’s not for the weak-eyed, so please read Prof. Akiyoshi Kitaoka’s warning:
“Warning: This page contains some works of “anomalous motion illusion”, which might make sensitive observers dizzy or sick. Should you feel dizzy, you had better leave this page immediately.”
Merriweather Post Pavillion (cover) – Animal Collective, inspired by Akiyoshi Kitaoka.
You’ll know if you’ve have seen this sleeve art before.
Prof. Akiyoshi Kitaoka’s experiments in “anomalous motion illusion” inspired the design of Animal Collective’s Merriweather Post Pavillion.
After studying psychology, Akiyoshi specialised in visual perception and visual illusions of geometrical shape, brightness and colour at the University of Tsukuba.
His website gives detailed explanations of the theory behind each piece.
“Shaman #2″ by Akiyoshi Kitaoka.
Gestalt completion, eh? Fascinating how our eyes play tricks on us.

This reminds me of Bridget Riley and her blend of op-art. Who needs to be under any influence when mathematical and geometrical rules can create pieces of art that move?
